If a scientific poll of Uber employees were taken today they would probably elect him CEO. Only he can make their options valuable.

My guesss is that there’s a lot of self-selection that’s happened through the Uber ranks. Employees who weren’t TK loyalists have probably largely opted out of Uber and moved on. So I’m guessing that first sentence is indeed accurate.

Oh man, is there like, a big group of people for whom this distinction matters? If so I am not prepared to explain. Are you able to explain this difference in my place, pjc50?

Um, given there's been multiple court cases about that, yes apparently there is a big group of people for whom that distinction matters...

I was alluding to the way that Uber specifically calls its drivers not employees, although they do work for Uber. The drivers do not have stock options and may have a different opinion of Kalanick.
